Chicken and Kale Get Freekeh Tonight

After a hectic day, the last thing you want to do is be chained to the stove. But if you’re anything like us, a crazy-busy day practically demands some homemade comfort food.

Add in a few extra players—pan-seared chicken and one of our favorite grains—and dinner’s practically done. Crank up the Marvin Gaye: Dinner’s about to get a little freekeh.
